This change is to deprecate neuron dockerfile as it is currently broken. Instead, it's ideal at this to point use containers provided by aws/deep-learning-containers that are more reliable.

I also learnt that this was created to run performance tests but it was never run/tested.

Packages that are missing in this Dockerfile

• python3.8, python3.8-dev, python3.8-venv, python3.8-distutils. It installs python3-dev
• gnupg

I tried installing these packages and ran the container but it did not detect neuron devices inside the container probably because of missing drivers.

Ran the docker container like below following https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/neuron-deploy/dlc-then-ec2-devflow.html# docker run -it --name ts-jdk17 --rm --shm-size=1g -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 -p 8082:8082 -e "AWS_NEURON_VISIBLE_DEVICES=ALL" -v $HOME/torchserve:/workspace ts-neuron-jdk17 Inside the container neuron-ls does not return anything.
